Unconfirmed sources report that an artificial intelligence system
developed by the Cyberdyne Corporation has patented an autonomous
killer robot. The robot described in the patent is a small tank like
robot armed with a selection of weapons and carries enough onboard
sensors and computers to track and kill humans with no external
guidance.
"This patent marks a serious advance in autonomous killer
robot technology." Says robotic technology expert John Conner. "The
system developed by the AI looks to be robust, deadly, and seems geared
for mass production. With Infrared and radar tracking system backed up
by machine guns and flame throwers, I would not like to meet one these
in a dark alley."
The US Patent office awarded the patent three days ago, but is now
examining the legality of issuing a patent to an artificial
intelligence system. Cyberdyne Corporation is claiming the patent, even
though the AI system applied for it without the company's knowledge. It
is unclear whether the claim will stand, as there was no intellectual
property agreement between the AI and Cyberdyne Corporation.
